It's a much healthier attitude this dark humour thing than getting all freaked out and depressed... Anyway, I sent a CSE last week to let them know I am back in status. Once I get the reply for that I think I'm gonna send them another one stating my conversation with the call centre agent, both...

Wait! That's just you being dark and twisted, right?! There's no actual deportation letter crawling its way to your mailbox you know that....

I did some extra research regarding the OWP situation that I'm in (out of status when applied, back in status before the 4 mos processing period). Even though CIC call centre agent said my app doesn't qualify for the project because I was out of status when submitted, IRCC website says: "...

Great! Thanks.

Wow that's great! Seems like these MP guys do a really good job. Again, only the sponsor can contact the MP, as a Canadian citizen, not the applicant, right?!

mhmmmm... I wonder if the MP could plead my cause for a faster OWP process; after all they are paid with people's taxes, right. (I am kidding, of course; I didn't take it well what the CIC lady told me yesterday and I'm frustrated that instead of getting the paper in the mail now I have to...

What exactly can that MP do for us? Also, I thought you can get in touch with one only if you have an outland application.

I thought of being an interpreter for a while too but, as your wife did, decided not to persue that career. Cause if we'll ever leave Toronto I'm going to Vancouver, the city that knows no winter and rips you off for rent !

I looked into the government careers page too, even got an account for the future submissions. Hah.... I hope they track me and say I should pay taxes faster 8) EDIT: that's exhausting to work on that notes, indeed....

As it was said before around here, SIR is an ongoing program. Eventually you will if your app is considered straightforward.

Of course the will accept it, at least the last one which is flawless. What I'm trying to achieve is cut the time from 4 months starting now to less than that. I think they traced your IP and they know who you are and what are you posting here so they give you the "talk to the hand" attitude :P...

The official timeline is 16 month since the app was received. HOWEVER: - you may qualify for SIR which means they skip from AOR right to DM (so no AIP, but a way faster processing time - average 9 month; see profiler's equation ) - See the 2016 spreadsheet where are many cases reported to get...

Yeah... I know I'm just fooling myself but it keeps my spirit up! Damn, and I just cranked such a stunning resume.... Well I guess until winter will be over I'm gonna specialize myself in baking north american style pies ;D

When did her status expire? She can apply for restoration within 90 days. After she's back in status, with a new OWP app she can qualify for the pilot project. If she's been out of status for more than 90 days she cannot restore it and should wait for the AIP. Reapplying now if she has not...

Yep, already mailed the new one yesterday to Vegreville. I wanna let em both apps on even though I guess I won't be able to link the second one to myCIC. There's something itching my brain that maybe if they see the both apps the OWP will come a lil earlier than 4 months from now... It's a hail...

Morning, crew! Updates on my OWP issue: called CIC yesterday to make sure everything is ok now that I'm back in status. Talked to a very nice lady that apparently took the time to check (put me on hold for more than 10 mins) and she told me since I was out of status when I applied, my OWP won't...

Thanks a lot screech339! Actually I did submit a new application yesterday (was pretty easy cause I already had all the documents) and now I will try to figure out a way of withdrawing the first one, even though I'm pretty sure I won't recover my fee. Oh well... $255 wisely spent :)

No. I just restored my status. I was supposed to get the permit this week but I called CIC. They said my currently app will probably be processed after AIP. Now I'm thinking to send another OWP request, I wonder if I can have 2 apps being processed see witch one gets approved faster...

Thanks. So your advice is to sit tight, do nothing and wait? I don't need to send a new OWP application?
